| Summary: | A new phenomenon can be seen in Spain in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries : the appearance and multiplication of local chronicles. The writers intended to trace in them the roots of places – region, diocese, city, etc. – and to write history and past glories, participating in the formation and maintenance of a collective memory. By analyzing some of these stories, it is evident that myths and legends are very present and play an essential role in these texts. The purpose of our study is to identify how the memory discourse is structured, and show that despite the advent of a critical historiography at that time, the legendary dimension is part of the strategies for writing, or rather re-write, the History. |
